About 208,200 teens (16- 19 years) are projected to find jobs in Michigan during the summer of 2019 (June-August). In addition, another 38,200 teens will be actively seeking jobs but will remain unemployed. Michigan’s teen summer jobless rate has been on a downward trend during this decade. With the positive condition of the state’s labor market in the summer of 2019, the teen unemployment rate is expected to be 15.5 percent. This is well below the teen jobless rate for most of the last decade, but remains above rates of unemployment for adults. Teens are encouraged to contact their local Michigan Works! office.
